Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ton barrel welding technology, and more specifically, it relates to an auxiliary tumbling device for welding metal ton barrels. Background Technology
[0002] Metal ton containers are large packaging containers made primarily of steel, with a capacity of around 1000 liters. Thanks to their sturdy metal frame and barrel structure, they possess excellent pressure resistance, impact resistance, and leak-proof performance, effectively resisting harsh transportation environments and external collisions. The corrosion resistance of the metal material makes them suitable for the storage and transportation of various acids, alkalis, solvents, and petroleum products. They are widely used in the chemical, petroleum, and coating industries, enabling bulk material transfer and reducing packaging costs. Furthermore, regular maintenance can extend their service life, combining practicality and economy.
[0003] Currently, ton containers are typically equipped with a top inlet and a bottom drain valve to facilitate rapid filling and safe discharge of materials. The ton container frame is also equipped with forklift slots and lifting points to facilitate mechanized handling. The existing bottom drain valve is installed on the ton container via a flange. Therefore, it is necessary to install a drain valve mounting bracket on the ton container in advance to facilitate the installation of the drain valve.
[0004] However, ton containers are relatively large containers, and the welding position and angle of the drain valve mounting bracket are quite complex. Currently, the welding of the drain valve mounting bracket to the ton container is done manually. Welders need to maintain a specific posture for a long time, which can easily lead to fatigue, causing damage to the welder's body. At the same time, long hours of labor can also affect the welding quality, creating potential problems for the subsequent use of the ton container. Therefore, a metal ton container welding auxiliary tumbling device is proposed to improve the existing problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a metal ton barrel welding auxiliary tumbling device.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A welding auxiliary tumbling device for metal ton containers includes a ton container assembly and a tumbling component disposed at the bottom of the ton container assembly.
[0008] The ton container assembly includes a ton container body, and a valve placement rack is provided inside the ton container body.
[0009] The flipping assembly includes a first placement seat and a second placement seat disposed on one side of the first placement seat. The outer sides of both the first and second placement seats are arc-shaped and are integrally formed. The ton body is disposed above the first placement seat.
[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: the flipping component includes a base, the top of the base is provided with a set of limiting wheels, and the first placement seat is disposed inside the set of limiting wheels.
[0011] The present invention is further configured such that: a motor is provided on one side of the base, a sprocket is connected to the output end of the motor, and a chain is provided on the outer side of the sprocket.
[0012] The present invention is further configured such that: the chain meshes with the sprocket, one end of the chain is connected to the second placement seat, and the other end of the chain is connected to the first placement seat.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting wheel set is set on the top of the base and surrounds the first placement seat. The physical boundary of the limiting wheel set constrains the movement range of the first placement seat. When the flipping component is working, the first placement seat needs to move in a specific direction. The limiting wheel set can reduce its horizontal offset or wobbling, ensure the accuracy of the movement trajectory, and avoid component jamming or damage due to position deviation. The movement process of the flipping component is as follows: First, the motor is started, and the motor drives the sprocket to rotate synchronously. The sprocket meshes with the chain through its teeth and drives the chain to move. When the chain moves, the first placement seat and the second placement seat are subjected to directional forces. Conversely, due to the relative rolling of the limiting wheel set and the first placement seat, the first placement seat is constrained by the limiting wheel set to move within a specific arc path. Under the action of the chain, the first placement seat moves along the limiting wheel set, and the second placement seat follows the first placement seat, thereby realizing the movement of the overall position of the first placement seat and the second placement seat, that is, realizing the adjustment of their overall angle to meet the needs of multi-angle welding. The outer sides of both the first placement seat and the second placement seat are arc-shaped, so the overall shape of the first placement seat and the second placement seat is arc-shaped. Due to the limitation of the special shape, the movement path of the first placement seat is arc-shaped.
[0014] The present invention is further configured such that: a limiting block is provided on the top of the first placement seat, the limiting block is L-shaped, and a clamping mechanism is provided on one side of the limiting block.
[0015] The present invention is further configured such that: the clamping mechanism includes a driving cylinder and a gripper, the gripper is configured in an L-shape, and the gripper is positioned opposite to the limiting block.
[0016] The present invention is further configured such that: two sets of guide blocks are provided above the limiting block, the two sets of guide blocks are provided on one side of the second placement seat, and the two sets of guide blocks are arranged opposite to each other.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, two sets of oppositely arranged guide blocks form a limiting channel. When the ton body moves down along the guide blocks under the conveying of the transfer device, its movement trajectory is constrained within the channel, reducing the possibility of positioning deviation caused by offset. The drive cylinder of the clamping mechanism drives the L-shaped gripper to move and form a clamping structure with the limiting block. The gripper holds the ton body from one side, and the limiting block provides a reaction force from the other side. The two work together to firmly clamp the ton body. This design can reduce the vibration generated during welding and reduce the processing accuracy error caused by the shaking of the ton body.
[0018] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0019] By setting up a flipping component, the ton container body can be positioned and its angle adjusted, meeting the needs of multi-angle welding during the welding process without the need for manual adjustment, thus improving production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0028] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0029] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.
[0030] Please see Figure 1-6 The present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0031] Example 1, see Figure 1 A metal ton barrel welding auxiliary tumbling device includes a ton barrel assembly 1 and a tumbling assembly 2 disposed at the bottom of the ton barrel assembly 1.
[0032] See Figure 3 and Figure 6 The ton container assembly 1 includes a ton container body 11, and a valve placement rack 12 is provided inside the ton container body 11.
[0033] The valve placement rack 12 is installed onto the ton body 11 by welding, and the valve placement rack 12 facilitates the subsequent installation of the drain valve.
[0034] The existing valve mounting bracket 12 is manually welded to the ton body 11, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, the flipping component 2 is used to position the ton body 11 and adjust its angle, meeting the needs of multi-angle welding during the welding process, eliminating the need for manual adjustment and improving production efficiency.
[0035] See Figure 2 and Figure 4 The flipping component 2 includes a first placement seat 23 and a second placement seat 26 disposed on one side of the first placement seat 23. The outer sides of the first placement seat 23 and the second placement seat 26 are both arc-shaped. The first placement seat 23 and the second placement seat 26 are integrally formed. The ton body 11 is disposed above the first placement seat 23.
[0036] The first placement seat 23 provides a placement space for the ton body 11. When processing the ton body 11, the ton body 11 can be placed on top of the first placement seat 23.
[0037] See Figure 2 and Figure 4 The flipping component 2 includes a base 21, a limit wheel set 22 is provided on the top of the base 21, and a first placement seat 23 is disposed inside the limit wheel set 22.
[0038] The limiting wheel set 22 is set on the top of the base 21 and surrounds the first placement seat 23. The physical boundary of the limiting wheel set 22 constrains the movement range of the first placement seat 23. When the flipping component 2 is working, the first placement seat 23 needs to move in a specific direction. The limiting wheel set 22 can reduce its horizontal deviation or swaying, ensure the accuracy of the movement trajectory, and avoid component jamming or damage caused by position deviation.
[0039] See Figure 2 and Figure 4 A motor 29 is provided on one side of the base 21. The output end of the motor 29 is connected to a sprocket 201. A chain 27 is provided on the outside of the sprocket 201.
[0040] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 The chain 27 meshes with the sprocket 201. One end of the chain 27 is connected to the second placement seat 26, and the other end of the chain 27 is connected to the first placement seat 23.
[0041] The motion process of the flip component 2 is as follows:
[0042] First, the motor 29 is started, which drives the sprocket 201 to rotate synchronously. The sprocket 201 meshes with the chain 27 through its teeth and drives the chain 27 to move. When the chain 27 moves, the first placement seat 23 and the second placement seat 26 are subjected to opposite pulling forces. Because the limiting wheel group 22 rolls relative to the first placement seat 23, the first placement seat 23 is constrained by the limiting wheel group 22 to move within a specific arc path. Under the action of the chain 27, the first placement seat 23 moves along the limiting wheel group 22, and the second placement seat 26 follows the first placement seat 23. Thus, the overall position of the first placement seat 23 and the second placement seat 26 can be moved, that is, their overall angle can be adjusted to meet the requirements of multi-angle welding.
[0043] The outer sides of the first placement seat 23 and the second placement seat 26 are both arc-shaped, so the whole of the first placement seat 23 and the second placement seat 26 is arc-shaped. Due to the limitation of the special shape, the movement path of the first placement seat 23 is arc-shaped.
[0044] See Figure 2 and Figure 4 A limiting block 24 is provided on the top of the first placement seat 23. The limiting block 24 is L-shaped, and a clamping mechanism 28 is provided on one side of the limiting block 24.
[0045] See Figure 2 and Figure 4 The clamping mechanism 28 includes a drive cylinder and a gripper. The gripper is L-shaped and is positioned relative to the limit block 24.
[0046] See Figure 2 and Figure 4 Two sets of guide blocks 25 are provided above the limiting block 24. The two sets of guide blocks 25 are located on one side of the second placement seat 26 and are positioned opposite each other.
[0047] In the actual processing, firstly, the ton container body 11 is transported to the processing position by the transfer device. During the transport process, the ton container body 11 moves down along two sets of oppositely arranged guide blocks 25. As the ton container body 11 moves down, it gradually comes into contact with the limiting block 24. When the ton container body 11 is in complete contact with the limiting block 24, the drive cylinder is then activated. The drive cylinder drives the gripper to clamp the ton container body 11, thereby achieving the limiting and fixing of the ton container body 11.
[0048] After the ton container body 11 is fixed in place, the robotic arm grabs the valve placement rack 12 and moves it to the position to be welded on the ton container body 11. Once the position of the valve placement rack 12 is determined, the welding mechanism is started to perform spot welding. Spot welding is used to determine the initial position of the ton container body 11 and the valve placement rack 12. After the initial position is determined, the overall welding is then carried out. At this time, during the overall welding process, due to the change in the connection position of the ton container body 11 and the valve placement rack 12, the welding position also needs to be adjusted. Therefore, the motor 29 is started, and the motor 29 drives the sprocket 201 to move the chain 27. In turn, the chain 27 moves the positions of the first placement seat 23 and the second placement seat 26 to adjust the welding angle and meet the requirements of multi-angle welding.
[0049] The transfer device, robotic arm, and welding mechanism are all externally mounted.
[0050] Two sets of oppositely arranged guide blocks 25 form a limiting channel. When the ton body 11 moves down along the guide blocks 25 under the conveying of the transfer device, its movement trajectory is constrained within the channel, reducing the possibility of positioning deviation caused by offset.
[0051] The driving cylinder of the clamping mechanism 28 drives the L-shaped gripper to move and form a clamping structure with the limiting block 24. The gripper holds the ton body 11 from one side, and the limiting block 24 provides a reaction force from the other side. The two work together to firmly clamp the ton body 11. This design can reduce the vibration generated during the welding process and reduce the processing accuracy error caused by the shaking of the ton body 11.
[0052] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
